EB039 - Radtel RT-950 Pro Desktop Part 4: Project Completion!

The final episode of the RT-950 Pro desktop conversion! In this video I complete the assembly and run some basic tests. The result is a personalised, low-cost multiband desktop transceiver with everything the RT-950 Pro original does, plus improved audio, a USB-C programming port, a Kenwood mic connector, fixed external mic sensitivity, backlit PTT keys, better VFO control and plenty of room for upgrades. Bluetooth audio out video is out soon! ⚠️ Licensing rules vary by country, and some entry-level licences only permit operation of commercially manufactured equipment. Check your own licence conditions before modifying or transmitting. Thanks to Radtel for supplying the RT-950 Pro, and to PCBWay for sponsoring this video. 73 Pete M0XEB If you are working on projects in need of high quality PCBs, head on over to https://www.pcbway.com/ 🎶 Music By: Will Azwan You can purchase a RT-950 Pro for conversion here ********************************************** Amazon US: https://amzn.to/439UXmG AliExpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c2R...
